[Verse 1]

I don't want to hurt you

For no reason have I but fear

And I ain't guilty of the crimes you accuse me of

But I'm guilty of fear

[Pre-Chorus 1]

I'm sorry to remind

But I'm scared of what we're creating

This life ain't fair

[Chorus 1]

You don't get something for nothing, turn now

Gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet

Like a long forgotten dream

[Verse 2]

And we don't need them

To cast the fate we have

Love don't always shine through

[Pre-Chorus 2]

'Cause I don't wanna lose

What we had last time, your leaving

This life ain't fair

[Chorus 1]

You don't get something for nothing, turn now

Gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet

[Bridge]

But the thoughts we try to deny

Take a toll upon our lives

We struggle on in depths of pride

Tangled up in single minds

[Pre-Chorus 2]

'Cause I don't wanna lose

What we had last time, your leaving

This life ain't fair

[Chorus 2]

You don't get something for nothing, turn back

Gotta try a little harder

'Cause I don't wanna lose

What we had last time, your leaving

This life ain't fair

You don't get something for nothing, turn back

Gotta try a little harder

It could be sweet
